One of the world's largest sailing superyachts - the Black Pearl - has docked at Portland Harbour.
She arrived on Monday to replenish stocks and was due to leave yesterday according to a spokesman for Portland Port.
"We welcome these kind of vessels and hope she is the first of many this season", the spokesman said.
"She is here for a two day stayover and, like other vessels, is benefiting from the safe, deep anchorage and shelter offered by Portland Harbour."
The privately-owned luxury vessel is visiting following a recent award win, having scooped 'Best Sailing Yacht' at the World Superyacht Awards.
The Black Pearl, built by Oceano boasts VIP suites and a cinema onboard - as well as a swimming pool.
The yacht's exterior lights up in different colours, and her sails can be opened or furled in just seven minutes, at the touch of a button.
The hybrid ship runs on alternative energy sources, and her sails produce energy thanks to solar panels built within the fabric, according to industry website yachtharbour.com.
